arXiv:2607. 10618v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We consider the recovery of a pair of sparse vectors from a limited number of nonlinear observations of their superposition: $y_i=g(\inner{\ba_i}{\bPhi\bw^\ast+\bPsi\bz^\ast})+e_i$, $i=1,\dots,m$, with $m\ll n$, incoherent orthonormal bases $\bPhi,\bPsi$, a scalar link $g$, and noise $e_i$ that may be heavy-tailed or contaminated.

arXiv:2607. 24235v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Over the past 20 years, kernel discrepancies have been leveraged as a highly powerful tool for quantifying the disagreement of distributions, with numerous successful applications in two-sample, goodness-of-fit, and independence testing, among others.

arXiv:2605. 28335v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) enables multiple clients to collaboratively train models without sharing raw data, but it is highly vulnerable to Byzantine attacks.

arXiv:2606. 06469v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Let $S$ be the set of unit norm linear classifiers $\theta \in \mathbb{R}^d$ which correctly classify every point of a labeled dataset $(X_i,y_i)_{i=1}^n$, $X_i \in \mathbb{R}^d$, $y_i \in \{-1,+1\}$, with a possibly negative margin $\kappa$ fixed in advance.

arXiv:2603. 28956v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The minimum-norm interpolator (MNI) framework has recently attracted considerable attention as a tool for understanding generalization in overparameterized models, such as neural networks.

arXiv:2608. 04686v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study distributionally robust PAC learning for the $0$--$1$-loss, where adversarial perturbations of the data distribution are constrained by a Cressie--Read divergence of order $k>1$ and radius $\rho\geq 0$.
